I am e newcomer to Ada

I am not an english-speaking person.

Can anyone help me with the follwing code ?


  type element is record
     ...
  end record;

  type p_element is access element;

  e1: element;
  p_e1: p_element := null;

  begin
    e1 := some_value;
    -- now, how to point p_e1 to the variable e1 ?
    p_e1.all := e1;  -- is that correct ?
                     -- I have got  exception RANGE_ERROR.
  end;


  I just want to assign 'address' of some dynamic/static allocated memory to 
'pointer variable'.
